Miami star freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney was praised by Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal for his resilience. Toney fumbled on the penultimate Miami drive of the game to give Texas A&M possession at the Aggies' 47-yard line with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter.
The Miami defense held Texas A&M to 12 yards on five plays after the Toney fumble and forced the Aggies to punt. Miami took over at its own 14-yard line and had a six-play 86-yard drive in 2:18 that culminated with an 11-yard reception by Toney from Carson Beck on a shovel pass to put Miami in front 10-3.
